About US
WE ARE ESTABLISHED EXPERTS IN mixed-use real estate development
Imprint specializes in land assembly and in complex purpose-built rental developments. We have proven expertise in highly competitive, high-production US and Canadian markets, using a variety of deal structures with sophisticated partners. We have experience in both market-rate rental communities and a wide variety of affordable housing structures. We are seasoned navigators of projects with difficult entitlements and regulatory complexity.
Building For the Future
Imprint is a boutique development firm that invests in mixed-use and purpose-built rental communities. At Imprint, we believe that great urban places are built incrementally and with clear intent. This requires taking a long-term perspective across all aspects of our business, from underwriting and design through construction and operations. Our goal is to make strategic, foundational investments in communities with great potential, and to create the kind of sustained value that makes for great neighbourhoods.
Building For Real Value
Imprint takes pride in doing more with less.
We excel at executing complex business plans. We achieve this by practicing total transparency with our partners, sweating the details, and always thinking downstream. Because we invest for the long term, we can make sustainable decisions which are good for our buildings, good for our investors, and good for our communities for many years to come.
We believe that in order to achieve above-market returns, a builder must either take additional risk or find opportunities that others are missing. We focus on improving performance through thoughtful design, innovative partnerships, and best-in-class programming to unlock hidden value.
Building For the Greater Good
Imprint’s proven method provides great financial returns, but we believe that great development is more than that. For every Imprint project, we aspire to deliver innovative design, foster sustainable community investment, and create vibrant spaces that our residents are proud to call home. As city-builders, these ideals push us to create better, more prosperous places to live.
We have deep expertise in a variety of affordable housing structures and delivery methods, including Inclusionary Zoning, municipal affordable housing programs, tax credits, and CMHC programs.
Residential Development Expertise
Development
Management
As a developer, owner, and operator of rental apartments, Imprint ensures that every project receives direct oversight by an experienced Principal. We focus on the details that turn good projects into great ones. We make every decision knowing we will have to live with the results. The result is an unwavering commitment to maximizing the long-term value of our investments.
Asset
Management
Imprint brings the same high-touch, detail-oriented method that defines our development services to asset management. Our approach relies on simple, proven metrics to drive the highest value. Focusing on short-term metrics can reduce the value of our long-term assets, so we focus instead on building loyalty and removing risk through strategic, ongoing investment in our communities. Imprint doesn’t allow algorithms to drive management decisions.
Resident
Services
Imprint brings a fresh perspective to Canada’s purpose-built rental market. Our experience in highly competitive US markets has shown that value is created through exceptional quality, customer loyalty, a high rate of lease renewals, and best-in-class resident services. We take a boutique approach to even the largest projects. A small selection of highly curated, high-touch services forms an integral part of our residential amenities.
Rental
Investments
At Imprint, we take pride in our investment philosophy. We work best with partners who are committed to making strategic, long-term investments in great urban places. Our goal is to create trophy rental apartment communities that provide value for decades. This can only be achieved through strong alignment with our partners, holding ourselves to a higher standard in all facets of our business, and through our active, personal involvement in every project.
